The entries are now closed!

We would like to say a big thank you to all those who have entered the Britain’s best loaf competition. We have received a great field of entries across all five categories – Gluten-Free, Innovation, Sourdough, White or Wholegrain. The judges will again have to make some tough decisions in determining who wins the individual category awards and, of course, takes home the top trophy.

Our panel of expert judges will sample and test each loaf live on-site at the Farm Shop & Deli Show, NEC Birmingham on Monday 8 April. Each entry will be assessed on the following criteria: external appearance, internal structure, aroma and taste.

So, come and celebrate the very best in British bread at the Britain’s Best Loaf 2019 awards presentation.

What our winners and judges say...

“Since the win we are currently selling far more beetroot sourdough and more sourdough in general. We have also had a lot of trade inquiries and have taken a contract on for the winning loaves for 60 plus units a week.”

"This event is a fantastic opportunity for Britain's bakers to showcase their skill and the quality of their products to their peers and potential customers. It is always a hard-fought competition, best of luck to all our 2018 entrants!”

Vince Bamford, Editor, British Baker and Britain’s Best Loaf judge

“We have been in our local papers and the awards in the shop look amazing, they are always a very good conversation point.”
